It's hard to believe, but May 4, 2020, is the 50th anniversary of the tragic shooting at Kent State University, where Ohio National Guard troops fired on a crowd of students during a massive anti-Vietnam War protest, killing four students and injuring nine.
Witnesses, military and law-enforcement experts, historians, and activists are divided on whether the shooting was justified (that's a discussion for another day), but it appears that Kent State is going all-in on pouring salt in the wounds of America's Vietnam veterans.
In a move that surprised many in the Northeast Ohio area and beyond, Kent State President Todd Diacon announced that actress, activist, and (former?) communist sympathizer Jane Fonda

Money she can spend on more plastic surgery and production of her new workout video for over the hills left wing liberal America haters. Featuring her doing a strenuous workout using a North Vietnam anti aircraft artillery battery as her gym apparatus.

My dad was a USN officer in the Pacific in WWII. Later in life he was Commander of the local American Legion post where he did all he could to bring well deserved honor to Viet Nam vets that had been spat upon by people like Fonda. To his death he hated the air she breathed. In his own words he said: This traitorous b**tch should be tried for treason.....and hanged if found guilty. As long as she lives she will always be one of the biggest disgraces America has ever seen.

What in the world does Kent State believe Jane Fonda has to offer its students? And how could anything she has to say be worth anywhere close to 83 thousand dollars. And how does Jane Fonda expect to "commemorate" those deaths?

I came back from Vietnam in the early spring of 1970. I remember how I felt about Kent State, and Jane Fonda, back then; fifty years haven’t abated my feelings. I don’t usually wish ill on anyone, but I’ll make an exception for the Hanoi Whore.

Hanoi Jane doesn't even deserve to be here after her treasonous attacks against America during the Vietnam conflict. I can't even imagine what Kent State sees in this witch and why they think she is worth the $38k fee. Maybe Ted knows.

#13 got it.
Ever look into the Kent State shootings, Our National Guard were thrown under the bus! Most of the protesters that were there on the campus the day of the May shootings were from out of town. Kent State is a liberal h_ ll hole. I would not send my dog to that joint. Hanoi Jane will fit right in,

It used to be that a murderous regime needed a pliable Western journalist to get its propaganda printed in the New York Times.
Not anymore!
It can submit directly to the Times opinion section, as the Taliban proved this week.
“What We, the Taliban, Want,” reads the actual headline to an article published Thursday by an actual American newsroom.
The op-ed, authored by Taliban deputy leader and suspected terrorist Sirajuddin Haqqani, opens with a series of sentences that attempt to “both sides” the conflict between the Taliban and the United States and present the Americans as unreliable and untrustworthy negotiators.

The attacks on Michael Bloomberg came early and often at Wednesday’s debate in Las Vegas, but none of them, of course, touched on his infamous “kill it” comment to a pregnant subordinate. No, the party of abortion at all stages wasn’t going to touch that one. Instead, Elizabeth Warren focused on Bloomberg’s thoughts about “horse-faced lesbians” and “fat broads.”
Bloomberg has paid advisers millions of dollars to prepare him for just such moments, but he still acted like he was answering the challenges for the first time. He came off as cold and flat-footed — the unlikeable technocrat trying woodenly to make himself palatable to a left-wing audience with half-hearted answers.

Forget Lincoln and Douglas. Forget Nixon and Kennedy. Hell, forget the Athenians and the Melians back during the Peloponnesian War. Last night’s Democratic primary slagfest in Nevada was the greatest debate in all of human history.
Oh, was it glorious — the sheer raging hostility spraying across the stage as every campaign besides the Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg bids face the desperate possibility each might fade into the woodwork against the Bernie surge and the Bloomberg billions.
No, my friends, everybody was wearing steel-tipped boots and going right for the crotch. Those weren’t snowflakes. They were nunchucks.

Six people entered the debate stage Thursday night to try and justify their campaigns’ viability to Nevada voters, and five of them spent large chunks of the time taking turns attacking a man who is not the incumbent President or the Democratic frontrunner.
It was an odd, but somewhat predictable night in Las Vegas as the top six Democrats running to be the Democratic nominee this year debated on key issues. A lot of the airtime was spent attacking Mike Bloomberg, who is a distant second to Sanders in recent polling, and Sanders actually got away relatively unscathed. Buttigieg, Klobuchar, and Warren tried to keep themselves relevant

President Trump on Wednesday signed a memorandum directing more of California’s scarce water supply to farmers and other agriculture interests in the state's Central Valley, a Republican stronghold.
Speaking alongside House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy in the lawmaker’s hometown of Bakersfield, Trump boasted of how his administration reworked environmental rules to assure more water gets to farmers, while also taking shots at his political rivals – from California Gov. Gavin Newsom to Democratic presidential primary hopeful and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
“For too long water authorities have flushed millions of gallons into the Pacific,” Trump said. “I ordered the administration to update outdated opinions

Elizabeth Warren shamed Mike Bloomberg for allegedly calling women “fat broads.”
Amy Klobuchar asked Pete Buttigieg if he was calling her “dumb.”
Bloomberg shut down Bernie Sanders by quipping that "the best-known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses."
The Democrats’ showdown Wednesday night in Las Vegas repeatedly put Bloomberg in his primary rivals’ crosshairs as the surging billionaire made his debate-stage debut. But the conflagration quickly expanded into an all-out melee and easily the most aggressive debate of the nomination season to date, as each of the candidates took sharp and often personal shots at one another.

We have nothing against South Bend, Indiana. In fact, two members of our opinion staff were born and raised in that city. And we all know that it's no proving ground for the presidency. More generally speaking, service as a small-town mayor is not in itself sufficient training for the Oval Office.
Pete Buttigieg, who served two terms as the mayor of Indiana's fourth-largest city, begs to differ. "Pragmatic and value-driven leadership — it's what mayors practice every day," he said in September. "We need a lot more of that in Washington right now.” The following month, Buttigieg said, "There’s no job

George Zimmerman wants a day in court against two of the leading Democratic presidential contenders, accusing them of defamation.
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Florida, the man who killed Trayvon Martin in self-defense in 2012 accused Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of “maliciously defam[ing]” Mr. Zimmerman, using the killing “as a pretext to demagogue and falsely brand Zimmerman as a white supremacist and racist to their millions of Twitter followers.”
Mr. Zimmerman was acquitted of all charges on traditional self-defense grounds, because Martin attacked him and beat his head against the ground, supposedly for profiling the black teen while on a neighborhood-watch shift.

Whatever other virtues might attach to the pardons issued today by President Trump, there is also this: They will remind our overwrought Democrats of one of the most far-sighted features of our Constitution. It is that when it comes to the fate of those who are, or could be, adjudged guilty of offenses against the United States, the final dispensation belongs to the President. He doesn’t even have to explain himself.
That’s something to bear in mind as leftist Democrats corral former federal prosecutors to raise an alarum against Mr. Trump’s criticisms of the prosecution of Roger Stone. Or as a bevy of federal judges calls an “emergency”

Maybe they can trademark “certified former royal?”
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will be moving forward in their new life without a valuable part of their brand, with the Queen and other senior Palace officials reportedly agreeing the couple will no longer be able to keep the word “royal” as a part of their brand.
According to the Daily Mail, the two had hoped to leverage “Sussex Royal” into not just a new website but a “global trademark for a range of items and activities, including clothing, stationery, books and teaching materials” and a new charitable organization with the name.

Remember after the 2000 election? Democrats were baffled that the voters hadn’t given Al Gore a third Clinton term in the midst of a good economy. Never mind that President Bill Clinton never won a majority of the vote and had been impeached for covering up his defiling of a young intern in the Oval Office.
To the credit of those old Democrats, at least they were slightly capable of self-awareness. This crowd today would march right down the throat of a flaming volcano if somebody told them that doing so would hurt President Trump.
After months of litigating hanging chads in Florida, those old Democrats of yore wondered

Neil Young has published a searing open letter in which he bashes Donald Trump as “a disgrace to my country”. Young posted the missive online on Tuesday. The Canadian-born musician, an outspoken opponent to the US president, announced last month that he had become a US citizen and intended to use his new voting rights to support the Democrats. In his new open letter, Young also reiterates his support for Bernie Sanders, whom he previously backed in 2016.(Snip) “Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment, and our relationships with friends around the world is unforgivable.” Source corrected.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex must drop their 'Sussex Royal' label after deciding to step down as working royals.
Following lengthy and complex talks, the Queen and senior officials are believed to have agreed it is no longer tenable for the couple to keep the word 'royal' in their 'branding'.
Harry and Meghan have spent tens of thousands of pounds on a new Sussex Royal website to complement their hugely popular Instagram feed.
They have also sought to register Sussex Royal as a global trademark for a range of items and activities, including clothing, stationery, books and teaching materials. (Snip)It has now been made clear that they will need to 're-brand'.

OBERLIN — Oberlin College's president said Tuesday the college is taking steps to save up to $2 million annually by outsourcing more than 100 jobs currently held by unionized workers. For a union representative who learned of the college's proposal at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, just two hours before his membership would hear the plan, the news came like a punch in the gut, delivered in "bad faith."(Snip)That's more than 110 employees, Villar said, including some with more than 30 years service to the college and at least one with 43 years service.

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Tuesday on MSNBC that not enough Americans are resisting and speaking out against President Donald Trump.
Waters said, “The American people should be focused on Barr. We should be joining with all of those federal prosecuting attorneys that have decided he should step down, that he should resign. We should be supporting them and backing them up. I’m anxious to see what the federal judges who have decided they can’t wait until the yearly association meeting, that they should pay attention to what is going on now and review what has happened. I’m anxious to see what they’re going to come out with.”

Cher took another shot at President Donald Trump Wednesday, suggesting he’ll soon make good on his hyperbolic promise made in jest to shoot someone in New York City and get away with it.
The 73-year-old singer often sounds off about Trump and the political landscape on her Twitter page. Wednesday was no exception as the outraged celebrity jabbed Trump’s detractors for referring to his actions as “unprecedented.”

Hollywood commodifies women. It always has and, the #MeToo movement notwithstanding, it always will. Maybe, then, it shouldn't be a surprise that on Wednesday news broke that Steven Spielberg’s 23-year-old daughter Mikaela is going to make it on her own commodifying herself as soft porn artist selling films highlighting her big breasts. (snip) We don’t know what went on in the house of Stephen Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, but their child Mikaela was an unhappy child and a troubled young adult – and now seems to have decided that the best way to empower herself is through pornography

On February 12, three female high school students in Connecticut filed a federal lawsuit against the participation of transgender athletes (with male anatomy) in female track and field events.
The three students, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, have a fairly simple and straightforward argument: They claim allowing biologically male students to compete against biologically female students is unfair and runs afoul (no pun intended) of their basic civil rights. They also argue, quite convincingly,

Former Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich declared himself a “Trumpocrat” Tuesday night hours after the president commuted his federal prison sentence. “He’s got obviously a big fan in me,” Blagojevich told reporters at Denver International Airport. “And if you’re asking me what my party affiliation is, I’m a Trumpocrat,” according to NBC News.(Snip) Walking through the airport as a free man Tuesday night, Blagojevich said, “President Trump is the one who did this, and I’m … profoundly grateful,” NBC News reported. “He didn’t have to do this. He’s a Republican president; I was a Democratic governor,” Blagojevich said.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) stated during her Wednesday interview on "The View" the billionaires behind companies like Walmart and Amazon should not exist because they underpay their employees.
Co-host Meghan McCain asked Ocasio-Cortez how she felt about the presence of billionaires Tom Steyer and Michael Bloomberg in the Democratic race for president. Both Steyer and Bloomberg have spent vast amounts of personal wealth on their campaigns, with Bloomberg topping the spending chart.

Michael Bloomberg's presidential campaign said they would not attempt to make the former New York City mayor appear taller during his Democratic primary debate debut. Campaign officials told NBC News on Wednesday that the candidate would "*NOT*" be on a box during the Wednesday debate. The confirmation follows President Trump blasting the mayor as "Mini Mike" and claiming he wanted a box to stand on in the debate. (Tweet) On Tuesday, Trump accused Bloomberg of illegally funding his own campaign before adding the box barb. "Mini Mike, Major Party Nominations are not for sale! Good luck in the debate tomorrow night and remember, no standing on boxes!" the president said.
